"Rewey Asset Management's concentrated SMID strategy delivered 27.31% returns in 2024, outperforming benchmarks for six consecutive years. The 32-position portfolio targets undervalued small and mid-cap companies with strong balance sheets."
Rewey Asset Management delivered exceptional performance in 2024 with their SMID composite gaining 27.31%, outperforming the Russell 2500 Value benchmark by 16.33% and marking six consecutive years of outperformance. The fund maintains a concentrated approach with 32 positions, focusing on undervalued small and mid-cap companies with strong financial metrics including eight holdings with net cash and twelve with low debt ratios. Top performers included Aris Water Solutions up 192.8% and Kyndryl gaining 50.2% in Q4. The manager added Weatherford International as a new position, seeing 59.2% upside potential in the undervalued oilfield services provider. Looking forward, Rewey expects small and mid-cap value stocks to benefit from Fed rate cuts, increased M&A activity under the Trump administration, and rotation away from concentrated large-cap tech positions. The investment philosophy centers on finding neglected opportunities created by the rise of index investing, with a disciplined 2-3 year holding period approach.
